Hi,
My name it's Antonio, living in chicago, strong DIY person.
I've played with FreeNAS and feel I'm ready to make the jump to production, but I'm still newbie on building freeNAS systems and best components.
Please forgive me if like any other newbie my ideas are not meeting specs and standars, would love any input and thanks in advance.
I've a PowerEdge T610
32GB Ecc ram
with a PERC 6i and a HDD Backplane 0F313F
I want to use this for a freenas server.
For the controller, I'm thinking on getting
LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i 8-port 12Gb/s SATA+SAS PCI-Express 3.0 Low Profile Host Bus Adapter
Q: If any better option for a 12Gb/s controller will be nice to read some recomendations.
I'm planing to buy 8TB HD
HGST Ultrastar He8 | HUH728080AL5200 | 0F23268 | 8TB 7.2K SAS 12Gb/s RPM 256MB Cache
The server HDD Backplane it's a DELL Model: 0F313F
Q: Will this HDD Backplane will work with my controller and will I be able to get 12 Gb/s? (main question)
For the cables I'm planing to get:
Cable Matters Internal Mini SAS to Mini SAS Cable (SAS 3.0 12 Gbps) 3.3 Feet / 1m
Q: If any better option, will be nice to read some recomendations.
We need to expand our vide file server, I think we can reuse this old server if we get a 10Gb network between our FreeNAS and 2 new imac pro (10Gb)
FreeNAS 10Gb network card
Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540T1
Q: If any better option, will be nice to read some recomendations.
Switch:
NETGEAR 16-Port 10Gig Smart Managed Plus Switch, 16x10GBASE-T, 1xSFP+, ProSAFE
If you got this far thanks or your patience.
Happy Friday!
Antonio
